pyboard interface

This module provides the Pyboard class, used to communicate with and
control a MicroPython device over a communication channel. Both real
boards and emulated devices (e.g. running in QEMU) are supported.
Various communication channels are supported, including a serial
connection, telnet-style network connection, external process
connection.

Example usage:

    import pyboard
    pyb = pyboard.Pyboard('/dev/ttyACM0')

Or:

    pyb = pyboard.Pyboard('192.168.1.1')

Then:

    pyb.enter_raw_repl()
    pyb.exec('import pyb')
    pyb.exec('pyb.LED(1).on()')
    pyb.exit_raw_repl()

Note: if using Python2 then pyb.exec must be written as pyb.exec_.
To run a script from the local machine on the board and print out the results:

    import pyboard
    pyboard.execfile('test.py', device='/dev/ttyACM0')

This script can also be run directly.  To execute a local script, use:

    ./pyboard.py test.py

Or:

    python pyboard.py test.py

Tokens of Friendship (6) – The Three Idiots
Friendship Day celebrations occur on different dates in different countries. The first World Friendship Day was proposed for 30 July 1958. On 27 April 2011 the General Assembly of the United Nations declared July 30 as official International Friendship Day. However, some countries, including the USA and India, celebrate Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August.
When we care about a friend, it seems natural to have the urge to show it to them by means of a gift or token. This week I bring you Tokens of Friendship.
Read more on International Friendship Day
Today, I feature the Indian film "3 Idiots". Very different from the other tokens of friendship I have featured this week, Rancho (Aamir Khan), the star idiot in the movie, gives two intangible gifts in the form of wise advice. One is that it is important to find and follow one's true calling and the second is that when the going gets tough just chant "AAL IZZ WELL!" (All is well) and you will gain the courage to face your troubles.
has become the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in India, breaking the previous record set by Ghajini which also starred Aamir Khan. It also became one of the few Indian films to become a major success in East Asian markets such as China, eventually bringing its overseas total to US $23.9 million—the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in overseas markets.(Info Source)

"The impact of the film is so overwhelming that it leaves you spellbound for hours after it has ended…"
– Sarita Tanwar of Mid-day –
"Whatever the problem in life is… just say to yourself 'Aal Izz Well'.. This wont solve your problems but it will give the courage to face it.." "Chase Excellence and success will follow".. " Life is not about getting marks, grades but chasing your dreams".. These are the golden rules which 3 IDIOTS teaches you in a very light and entertaining way.. The movie makes you laugh and in the process you learn many golden rules which can alter your life in a big manner… -Naman Kapur,IMDb Review-
3 Idiots – Movie Review
By: Sarita Tanwar
from mid-day.com
Cast: Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani
Based on Chetan Bhagat's novel, Five Point Someone (though only a miniscule part has been adapted from the book; the rest is all original), here's a story of three friends studying in an engineering college Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (R Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi).
Rancho is the rebel among them always questioning things and believing that learning is more than just the usual mode of education.
He encourages his friends to look beyond the ordinary and soon earns the wrath of the college director Viru Sahasrabuddhe (Boman Irani). Despite his fun and frolicking, Rancho always surprises everyone by topping the class. He even manages to win the affections of the director's daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor). But Rancho's greatest contribution is making his friends realise their true calling. The twist comes on Graduation Day. After being awarded the Student Of The Year, Rancho mysteriously disappears into oblivion. Years later, Farhan and Raju, finding a common thread, embark on a journey to find their friend.
3 Idiots is a story of friendship, hope, aspirations and most importantly, the goodness of life. With 3 Idiots, Rajkumar Hirani proves beyond doubt that there's no better storyteller than him in the present generation.
This isn't an easy film to make the interplay between characters and the narrative is interestingly woven.
The film switches from present to flashback mode often but not once does Hirani lose the momentum. The medley of emotions that he brings forth as he establishes the film's structure is indeed commendable.

Did you notice anything missing from yesterday's Culture Day post? Namely, my parents? Yeah, their flight from Oakland to Los Angeles was so delayed they missed their connecting flight to Apia. I don't want to call out the airline, but I will say that it rhymes with Wunited. In any case, they had to spend all of yesterday in Los Angeles, then they flew to Auckland where they're spending the whole day today, and they arrive in Apia tomorrow morning. On the whole, kind of a bummer.
I can't remember the third, but I remember thinking there were 3.
Last Friday I purchased a coke just before getting on the pasiova'a, the bus to the wharf. There was standing room only, and its disrespectful in Samoa to eat or drink while standing. But people often drink on the bus, but I wasn't sure about standers. So I asked the kid behind me who was wearing a Samoa College uniform. He said it was fine if I did it. I asked if he would do it. He answered, "No because I'm Samoan. You're palagi so it's fine." So I waited until we got to the wharf.
I've been debating what to do with the blog while I'm in New Zealand. I'm having trouble reconciling the fact it's Matt's Samoa Blog, so what is to be done when Matt is not in Samoa? Posting fresh content will mean sacrificing the Matt or the Samoa part of the name. I'm interested in having (a) guest blogger(s) post things from Samoa, but I figure I could also post about experiences in New Zealand. I'm still wrestling with this, but feel free to chime in with your 2 cents.
My next-door neighbor Maengi is recovering well in India, and is expected to be back here in June when school starts again.
With all these papers to correct, it really doesn't feel like school is ending tomorrow. With all of the stuff I still have to do (administer tomorrow's CAT, tests to grade, CATs to grade), I just can't get into the celebrating mood.
Six weeks of Culture Day has left songs in my head to which I don't know the words. This is frustrating and sad. Maybe I will ask a student to write down the words for me. Or maybe I will write English lyrics for the melodies. About living in Samoa. How fun would that be?
I'll probably just get the words from a student.
Today is the 150th post on the blog.
I'm a little worried about what to do with my parents for a week. I'm sure they will be happy to do whatever as the purpose of the trip is less about doing things and more about being together, but I am still the host.
That's all I got for today. I hope you're well. More Culture Day pictures below.
Teams seated together at the beginning of the day.
Squeezing the coconut milk out of the coconut pieces.
Roasting cacao beans. Mortar and pesle in behind.
Stuffing the pig with mango leaves.
I vote for sacrificing the Samoa part; I want to hear about New Zealand!
my two cents says to have a Matt's Samoa (and temporarily New Zealand) Blog. Keep BLOGGING.


On this edition of In The Circle, Eric Lopez, and Victor Anderson talk with Southern Arkansas great Brooke Goad. She discusses being a first-year coach, setting the NCAA DII homerun record and adjusting from player to coach.
Also on the episode, Eric and Cassie Tysarcyzk react to FSU's first ACC conference series loss since 2012 at Louisville and look ahead to some of the key series this weekend.


Under the leadership of Roger Fradera of the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London, I was involved as a co-author on a 'thinkpiece' about citizen science and the nexus. If you haven't come across the term, 'nexus' is the linkage of food, energy, water and the environment as a major challenge for the future.
Inclusivity: a co-created citizen science approach is likely to be more appropriate both to address the more complex nexus issues and to engage all sectors of society.
Engagement: Citizen science practitioners and nexus scientists should explore developing citizen science programmes with multi-scale engagement of citizens, for example programmes focusing on a nexus issue that combine local, citizen-led or co-created projects.
Barriers: Research is needed to understand the motivations, attitudes and willingness to change behaviours across all nexus stakeholders, and to better understand and find solutions to barriers.

John Singleton's 'Rebel' Police Brutality Drama Takes Shape with All-Star Black Cast
Posted byBy Kiersten Willis	| June 12, 2016 CommentsComments (0)
John Singleton's newest project tackles police brutality – but in an unexpected way. Produced for BET, Rebel will focus on a Black female cop who has a complicated relationship with her white partner in the department after he shoots and kills her brother.
Deadline reports stage actress Danielle Moné Truitt – who has play credits in A Raisin in the Sun, Aida and previously had a role in Disney's The Princess and the Frog – will play the title character named Rebecca "Rebel" Knight. Mykelti Williamson, who famously played "Bubba" in Forrest Gump, stars as Rebel's father Rene. He blames his daughter for her brother's death. Cliff "Method Man" Smith is TJ, Rebel's ex who is still passionate about her though he has moved on. Brandon Quinn plays Rebel's partner. The actor currently stars on Freeform's The Fosters.
Singleton will not only direct the two-hour pilot but he also serves as executive producer and co-writer. Production is slated to start this week in Los Angeles. The television project adds to Singleton's small-screen work following a directorial stint on FX's The People vs. O.J. Simpson.
The iconic film and TV director has never shied away from telling stories specifically targeting the Black community. Atlanta Black Star reports he spoke about the need for other Black filmmakers to create movies about African-American culture in 2014.
"They ain't letting the Black people tell the stories," Singleton told students at Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television in Los Angeles. "They want Black people to be what they want them to be as opposed to what they are. The Black films now – so-called Black films now – they're great, but they're just product. They're not moving the bar forward creatively."
The filmmaker explained the reason 1991's Boyz in the Hood was so popular is because he created it specifically for the Black audience – something he'll do once again with Rebel.

When choosing an asphalt supplier and paving contractor, you've got a big decision to make. Who can you trust to value workmanship at the same exceptional level that you do? Who can provide consistently high-quality hot-mix asphalt for the big road jobs, the small parking lots, and everything in between? Who places a premium on customer service so that the president of the company is just a phone call away, ready to take care of business and make sure you'll come back next time?
The answer is in our name: Superior Asphalt.
Superior Asphalt has built a rock-solid reputation in the Manatee and Sarasota County areas for over a decade. We build quality highways, roads, and streets; supply and sell asphalt to developers and builders; provide grading and milling services; build sidewalks, curbs, and gutters; and provide expert repairs and renovations for developers, private industry and local, regional, and state public entities. We're recognized by regional leaders as a preferred contractor, road builder, and asphalt provider. We support our local community through sponsorships and hands-on involvement. And our quality controls and safety standards are second to none.
Superior quality. Superior service. Superior Asphalt.
Choosing a paving contractor and asphalt supplier?


I finally had an opportunity to review the recent Final Decision in In the Matter of Palmer Renewable Energy, concerning the proposed Palmer biomass facility. Last week, MassDEP Commissioner Ken Kimmell affirmed the Recommended Final Decision by Presiding Officer Timothy Jones, rejecting challenges by the Conservation Law Foundation to the air permit issued to the project by MassDEP. For practitioners, the case is important, but a decidedly mixed bag.
First, on the issue of broadest importance, I'm sorry to say that MassDEP missed a real opportunity to conform its standing requirements to the actual meaning of Chapter 30A. Instead, MassDEP seems to have fallen into the traditional Massachusetts trap of concluding that more process is always better. The decision does not simply resolve ambiguity in favor of more process; it finds ambiguity where there is none.
None of this carried weight with the Commissioner. As much as I admire him, the logic of the Final Decision just seems tortured. I can imagine this decision being affirmed by a trial judge, but if this ever makes it to the SJC, I'd bet the house on a unanimous decision denying standing; the statutory language and the distinction between § 7A and § 10A seem too clear to get around.
The question of how the standing decision will do on appeal brings us to the decision on the merits. Here, the Final Decision adopted the Recommended Final Decision, which concluded that the permit complied with applicable regulations. The important point is that CLF had argued that, even though the facility demonstrated that its emissions would not cause any exceedance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards, those emissions still constituted a "condition of air pollution," because of adverse health impacts at sub-NAAQS levels.
Readers of this blog will realize that the same issue was raised in the North Carolina v. TVA, the public nuisance case brought by North Carolina regarding upwind emissions from out of state TVA power plants. There, the District Court ruled for the North Carolina and issued an injunction against the TVA, but the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed, holding that there is no place for such public nuisance cases within the detailed Clean Air Act regulatory regime. Although the arguments in Palmer were slightly different, the affirmation of regulatory reliance on NAAQS as a regulatory baseline is critically important.
I can only hope that CLF appeals. I'm confident that, if it gets that far, the decision on the merits would be affirmed. However, I really want the appeal because I want the standing issue to be adjudicated again. If CLF wants the right to appeal permits they don't like, then persuade the legislature to amend Chapter 30A. Until then, I want the courts to interpret "intervene" as it is meant to be interpreted.

Hontiveros was asked by a female member of the audience how they can help Filipinos abroad while there are politicians who are aligned with the senator who try to malign the country before the world.
The woman, who identified herself as Luwalhati, cited a recent statement of the senator demanding that the United Nations allowed to come to the Philippines and investigate reported extrajudicial killings in the country.
"Where is the honor in that? How can we be honorable when we malign our own community, our own people and suggesting that there are crimes going on done by the government against its own people?" Luwalhati asked Hontiveros, adding that it is unfair for OFWs all over the world who do their best to improve the image of Filipinos and the Philippines before the international community, yet elected officials like her try to bring the country down.
"You're a senator so people will listen to you whether we like it or not, so how can we change the image [of the Philippines]if there are people who keep on destroying it," she said.
Hontiveros responded that she only urged the government to invite UN representatives to visit and investigate, not demand that they be allowed to enter the Philippines.
Hontiveros, who is part of the minority bloc in the Philippine Senate, explained that she made the call for the government to invite the UN representatives because of the Duterte administration earlier claimed that the international community had been misled on the real score in its war on drugs.
"So that was the spirit of my statement urging government [to issue an invitation]and with all due respect also I'm not maligning [the government], it's an attempt as a legislator to call the attention of the executive," she pointed out.

Engineering Minors
An engineering minor is beneficial to both engineering students and non-engineering students. For engineering students, a minor within the College of Engineering will further knowledge within other engineering disciplines. For non-engineering majors, a minor in engineering is of particular interest to students pursuing a career in an engineering-related field and to science students who need an approved minor to graduate.
Bioengineering Minor
The purpose of the biomedical engineering minor is to expose Valpo students to a broad and exciting field aimed at improving the lives of others. The minor works well with the mechanical engineering curriculum and essentially directs students in their choices of elective courses while working toward graduation. However, the required courses can be completed by any student that has the necessary background and prerequisites in math and physics.
The focus of the biomedical engineering electives will be dictated by the expertise of each individual faculty member. One semester students might learn about the electrical signals the nervous system conveys to various muscles, and the next semester those students might learn about how to design prosthetic limbs and control them with existing anatomical inputs. Students who complete this 18 credit minor will graduate prepared to pursue graduate school or industrial jobs in one of the many applications of biomedical engineering, such as designing implants, medical devices, or prosthetics/orthotics.
Human Movement Research Laboratory
Current research being performed in the Human Movement Research Laboratory in Gellersen falls under three main projects:
the analysis of gait while wearing different running shoes (four current engineering students),
the design and control of a prosthetic arm (three current engineering students),
and the development of a statistical metric that will be used to indicate when an athlete is on the verge of an injury (nine current engineering students and five current kinesiology students).
These studies are supported by state-of-the-art equipment that allows researchers to track people in motion using motion-capture cameras, record muscle activity using electromyogram (EMG) sensors, and study impact loads using in-sole pressure maps. These research projects have helped the College of Engineering send two students to the annual American Society of Biomechanics Conference in 2011, two students to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers 2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference, five students to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers 2013 Summer Bioengineering Conference, and six students to the World Congress of Biomechanics in 2014.
Humanitarian Engineering Minor
The humanitarian engineering minor is designed to give students the understanding and the opportunity to apply engineering concepts to improve the welfare of the less advantaged. The 18 credits needed to complete this minor are fulfilled through courses intended to enhance cultural awareness and to help students identify problems that can be solved by the application of engineering principles. One of three GS 180 credits that make up the 18 required credits must include participation in Working Across Vocations Everywhere through Service (WAVES) activities or a similar approved engineering project. Students earning a humanitarian engineering minor will have a unique credentials that will make them attractive to employers and organizations in the nonprofit sector that focus on humanitarian efforts. Hear Rachel's story.
Departmental Minors
Engineering students seeking further breadth in their courses of study may wish to earn one or more minors within the College of Engineering. The following minors are available to engineering majors:
Civil engineering — a minor in civil engineering is available to students majoring in computer, electrical, or mechanical engineering. A minimum of 18 credit hours in civil engineering, excluding CE 202, is required.
Electrical and Computer engineering — A minor in electrical engineering is available for students majoring in civil or mechanical engineering. A minimum of 19 credit hours is required.
Mechanical engineering — A minor in mechanical engineering is available for students majoring in civil, computer, or electrical engineering. A minimum of 19 credit hours is required.
Environmental Studies Minor
This interdisciplinary minor will broaden the experiences of students with traditional majors by exposing them to approaches used by various disciplines and sectors of society that are attempting to solve complex environmental problems. A minimum of 20 credit hours is required to complete this minor.
Mechatronics Minor
Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary engineering field that combines mechanical, electrical, electronics, control, and computer engineering. Engineers who work in mechatronics design and work with electro-mechanical systems that include sensors, actuators, programmable logic controllers, microprocessors, software, computers, and mechanical components. An excellent example of a mechatronic system is a robot. The purpose of the mechatronics minor is to provide students an opportunity to complete relevant coursework in the mechatronic field.
By utilizing required professional and technical electives, bioengineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering students can complete the mechatronics minor with 9 to 12 credits beyond the required major coursework. Mechanical engineering and electrical and computer engineering minors can be earned in addition to the mechatronics minor by completing one additional course in the associated discipline.
Minors for Non-Engineering Majors
A student in an engineering-related field may choose to pursue the engineering minor. This minor is particularly helpful to students who start in engineering and choose to change their major to a related field or for those who plan to work closely with engineers.
Engineering Minor — For non-engineering students, this minor offers an introduction to foundational areas of engineering. A minimum of 18 credit hours of engineering courses is required for this minor. Of these, at least nine credits must be from 200-level or higher courses.

Il ritorno della JSA è un arco narrativo a fumetti in 9 puntate, pubblicate dalla DC Comics nel 1999. Riprende le avventure della Justice Society of America, squadra di supereroi della Golden Age, che erano già state precedentemente riprese negli anni ottanta.

Storia editoriale
Il fumetto coinvolgeva un multi-crossover con i numeri ristampati di Adventure Comics n. 1, All-American Comics n. 1, All-Star Comics n. 1 e 2, National Comics n. 1, Sensation Comics n. 1, Smash Comics n. 1, Star-Spangled Comics n. 1 e Thrilling Comics n. 1. I nomi inclusero quelli dei fumetti pubblicati dalla All-American Publications, una delle tre compagnie che si fusero per formare la moderna DC Comics, così come la Quality Comics, i diritti della quale la DC acquisì negli anni cinquanta.

Trama
Durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, alcuni simpatizzanti nazisti cominciarono un rituale impiegando Dottor Occult per portare un nuovo essere noto come Koth sulla Terra, al fine di assicurare la vittoria dell'Asse nella guerra.

Hourman (Rex Tyler) e numerosi eroi con poteri magici tentarono di fermarli, ma senza successo. L'incantesimo andò storto, però, e i nazisti liberarono un criminale noto col nome di Stalker, il cui unico scopo era la fine della vita ovunque. Gli eroi della magia furono catturati o uccisi da Stalker, e solo Hourman e Dottor Occult riuscirono a fuggire.

Hourman informò i suoi colleghi della JSA della minaccia incombente, e insieme si batterono con lui a Washington. La JSA riuscì a ferire Stalker così gravemente che il mostro dovette creare sette discepoli (formati dai corpi dei nazisti che lo portarono sulla Terra) che portassero avanti il suo lavoro mentre lui si rimetteva. La JSA si divise in 7 squadre, ognuna con il compito di sconfiggere uno dei 7 discepoli, e ogni squadra riuscì nel tentativo. Dr. Occult riunì poi tutta la squadra per l'ultimo scontro in Antartide, dove Stalker stava costruendo una macchina che avrebbe eliminato la vita dalla Terra. Dopo una lunga battaglia, la macchina venne distrutta e Stalker fu sconfitto.

Raccolte
La storia fu raccolta in un unico volume dal titolo The Justice Society Returns!, pubblicato dalla DC Comics nel 2003. In Italia, venne pubblicato in lingua italiana nello stesso anno, e ristampato nel 2008 con il titolo Il ritorno della JSA.

The 2019 Santiago ePrix (formally the 2019 Antofagasta Minerals Santiago E-Prix) was a Formula E electric car race held at the Parque O'Higgins Circuit in the Parque O'Higgins of Santiago, Chile on 27 January 2019. It was the third round of the 2018–19 Formula E season and the second annual edition of the event. Sam Bird won the 36 lap race, with Pascal Wehrlein finishing second, in what was his 2nd race in the championship, while Daniel Abt came home in third place. Following the race, Bird led the championship, edging out Jerome d'Ambrosio by 2 points.

Report

Background
The 2019 Santiago ePrix was confirmed to be taking place as part of the 2018-19 FIA ABB Formula E Championship, on 9 October 2018, with a new circuit in Parque O'Higgins, replacing the previous track in the Parque Forestal following opposition from residents. The new Parque O'Higgins Circuit layout was also revealed on the day itself, with it being planned to be a 2.4 km long track, subjected to FIA Homologation. The track utilised roads in the Parque O'Higgins, with feedback from local residents being sought to minimize any disruption to them during the race. Ultimately, the track was successfully homologated according to its original design. Ahead of the race, a layer of new asphalt was laid in the park in November 2018, with parts of the circuit using the new surface, while the rest including the start/finish straight, was an old concrete layer.

Practice
Lucas di Grassi topped the timesheets in what was an interrupted Free Practice 1 at Santiago, with running halted midway by a red flag, following a crash by Season 2 champion, Sebastien Buemi. Di Grassi posted a best time of 1:08.630 on a 250 kW run in the closing stages of FP1 to go 0.146 seconds quicker than Pascal Wehrlein's Mahindra, with Sam Bird coming in 3rd for Envision Virgin Racing, 0.358 seconds behind Di Grassi, with his Virgin teammate Frijns coming in at just 0.071 seconds behind him. Reigning Champion Jean-Eric Vergne came in P5, while Ad Diriyah race winner, Antonio Felix Da Costa came in P6. All 22 drivers set flying laps, with the top 11 separated by less than a second. The most serious incident of the session came for Buemi with a crash at Turn 7. The red flag was brought out for 17 minutes, suspending the session, while Buemi's Nissan was retrieved, and subsequently, the session was extended by ten minutes to compensate for some of the lost time.

In Free Practice 2, José María López would lead a pack of 3 Audi-powered cars after the 30-minute session, with him setting a best time of 1:08.194 in his Dragon Racing Penske EV-3, going just 0.066 seconds quicker than Robin Frijns in his customer Envision Virgin Racing Audi. Frijns's Virgin teammate Sam Bird was classified fourth, behind the factory Audi of Lucas di Grassi in third. The session was free of any major incidents, although some drivers, including rookie driver Felipe Massa, went into the run-off area around the track, whilst Andre Lotterer made brief contact with the tire wall. Sebastien Buemi managed to get back out on track after a crash in Free Practice 1 and finished the session 15th in his Nissan. All 22 drivers set flying laps in what was a tightly contested session, with the top 17 covered by a little over 0.7 seconds.

Qualifying

Lucas di Grassi had been set to start the race from pole position after the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler driver went quickest by a considerable margin in Super Pole, posting a time of 1:08.290 to go 0.526 seconds clear of Sebastien Buemi in an uncharacteristically spaced-out Super Pole session. It would have marked the second consecutive pole for Audi-powered cars in Season Five of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship after Sam Bird's pole run in Marrakech for customer team Envision Virgin Racing. However, Sebastien Buemi inherited pole position for the race, after di Grassi was penalized following a stewards' investigation into his brake usage on his in-lap after his group qualifying run. Di Grassi was found to have used the brakes on his Audi e-tron FE05 more during the in-lap than on the flying lap, violating a new rule that was introduced prior to the race concerning brake usage, believed to have been brought in following Tom Dillmann's brake failure in Marrakesh, which resulted in his parc ferme collision with Robin Frijns. The Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler driver therefore had his qualifying times deleted, including his pole-setting Super Pole time, and will start from the back of the grid. As such, all drivers were promoted by 1 spot, with Pascal Wehrlein qualifying third, ahead of di Grassi's teammate Daniel Abt, while Bird made it three Audis in Super Pole, qualifying fourth and fifth place on the grid went to Stoffel Vandoorne for Venturi.

Several leading drivers failed to make it through to Super Pole, including reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne who complained about the qualifying format on the live stream, owing to the disadvantaged track conditions for the Group 1 drivers.

Race

Sam Bird successfully defended from Pascal Wehrlein to win the Santiago ePrix, scoring his first ABB FIA Formula E Championship win since Rome the previous season. While Bird was forced to nurse his Audi e-tron FE05 home with low energy levels on the final lap, he also benefited from Wehrlein also being forced to slow down to prevent overheating on his Mahindra M5Electro, due to the high ambient temperatures at the race, which saw temperatures peak at 38.0°C. While Bird's victory was briefly uncertain following the race, as he faced an investigation for his car possibly being underweight, it was later quickly clarified that no further action would be taken. This win meant of continuation Bird's streak of winning at least one race in every Formula E season, and bringing him into the championship lead, overtaking Marrakesh winner Jerome d'Ambrosio by a point. d'Ambrosio's Mahindra Racing teammate Pascal Wehrlein held on, to finish runner-up in his second Formula E race after using his attack mode to pressure Bird for the lead in the last six minutes. Alexander Sims had appeared set to make it two rookie drivers on the podium, but was given a drive-through penalty which was later converted to a post-race time penalty, for causing a collision with Edoardo Mortara earlier in the race, dropping him back to eighth. As a result of the penalty, Daniel Abt was promoted up to third position, making it two Audis cars finishing on the podium, ahead of Edoardo Mortara in fourth and Bird's Envision Virgin teammate Robin Frijns completing the top five. Mitch Evans took sixth for Jaguar,  while D'Ambrosio finished eighth after a difficult weekend for the Belgian which saw him qualify near the back of the field on account of running in the disadvantaged first qualifying group. Oliver Turvey ending up ninth for NIO, while José María López, who had finished seventh on the road was dropped down to 10th for exceeding maximum power. Nelson Piquet Jr. finished 11th, while Abt's teammate, Lucas di Grassi wound up 12th in the final order after a 10-second stop-and-go penalty was converted into a post-race time penalty, for causing a collision with Lopez.

It was a race of attrition, which saw only 14 of 22 cars which started the race finishing, following a number of collisions between drivers and technical issues worsened by the hot weather conditions. Among the retirees were Antonio Felix da Costa, who won the opening race of the season in Ad Diriyah, and reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne, with both drivers colliding on the final corner on lap 8, as well as race polesitter Sebastien Buemi. Buemi had led the race from pole position but crashed out from the lead during the second half when he locked up at the chicane, which forced him to limp home to the pits, and ultimately retire due to the damage sustained to the car.

Investigators Find More Evidence Of Connections Between Crashes Of Boeing 737 Max Jets
By David Schaper
Published March 18, 2019 at 5:16 PM EDT
All right, NPR's David Schaper has been reporting on this story and joins us now. Hey, David.
DAVID SCHAPER, BYLINE: Good afternoon.
CHANG: So we just heard from the pilot perspective here. And it sounds like the focus for them is on more training. What does Boeing say on that front?
SCHAPER: Well, Boeing's focus first and foremost is on providing the pilots with training certainly. But first they want to get this MCAS system repaired and fixed, make the software changes that they've promised. We should take a step back and explain exactly how the system works. The plane has what's called angle-of-attack sensors to measure how high up the nose is pointing, which will affect the lift under the wings and the aerodynamics of the plane. And when these sensors read that the nose is pointed too high, this MCAS system overrides the pilot and will take corrective action, just basically pointing the nose of the plane back down.
Now, in the case of the Lion Air crash, the sensor was malfunctioning, providing erroneous information. So the system pointed the nose down when it should not have and kept repeating the action, and the pilots - even when the pilots were trying to pull the plane out of a nosedive. So Boeing is redesigning the software so it'll act on information from two sensors instead of just one. It won't act as quickly and definitively. And it will also use a few other aspects so it will not repeat itself and repeat that action over and over again.
Boeing says it will provide the airlines and the pilots with new training for these system upgrades. But they basically say that because the system's changes will make it less likely that the pilots will have this problem, that they don't need necessarily a ton of training and simulator training in particular.
CHANG: OK, well, let's turn to how the investigation is going of the Ethiopian Airlines crash a little over a week ago. Can you just bring us up to speed on the latest?
SCHAPER: Yeah. Investigators in France where the plane's flight data and cockpit voice recorders - the so-called black boxes - were taken for analysis say that they found some clear similarities in the angle-of-attack sensors. So that's suggesting that the similar problems may have caused these two crashes. If that is what happened, though, the pilots should have been trained on how to properly respond.
CHANG: Right.
SCHAPER: Ethiopian Airlines says that they were trained. So it's possible that there's some - might have something else going wrong or that there was another problem with the plane. So investigative authorities say they still need to explore these two - the links between these two crashes.
CHANG: OK. Meanwhile, Boeing is just getting slammed with bad press. I mean, yesterday there were two bombshell reports, as we just heard - one in The Seattle Times and another in The Wall Street Journal. Can you just recap what these reports together are laying out for us?
SCHAPER: Well, as you guys explained, The Seattle Times report found that there were crucial flaws in Boeing's safety analysis of that new flight control system and that Boeing was downplaying the risks. And the report also says that the oversight from the FAA was lacking. The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press, I should add, are both reporting that the Justice Department is now investigating the way that Boeing was regulated by the FAA and has apparently sent out grand jury subpoenas seeking information pertaining to the development of the 737 MAX and this flight control system in particular.
CHANG: And how is Boeing responding to this, these latest pieces of coverage?
SCHAPER: In a statement, Boeing said today that it would not comment on legal matters including government inquiries like this Justice Department inquiry that's been reported. The FAA also would not comment on the reports of that investigation. On the Seattle Times report, the Boeing - Boeing says that the 737 MAX was certified in accordance with the same requirements from the FAA and processes that have governed all certification processes in the past for new airplanes and derivatives of new airplanes. So they've done it by the book they said and followed...
CHANG: All right.
SCHAPER: ...A standard certification process.
CHANG: That's NPR's David Schaper. Thanks very much.
SCHAPER: My pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Copy And Paste Constant Contact Into Another Email
Constant Contact have actually been in the email advertising video game because 1995. Throughout that time, they've handled to turn into one of the most previously owned e-mail tools on the planet, after Mailchimp.
Something I discovered is that Constant Contact is extremely usually the top option for many various other evaluation internet sites. Normally, I am curious to see if our detailed evaluation generates the same result.
You may have looked into the Constant Contact testimonials supplied by customers online, also, and also whilst they are rather positive, they might not offer you the whole picture. Our testimonial of Constant Contact is based on a systematic technique and also uses our practical experience as well as understanding of loads of other basic as well as sophisticated advertising and marketing automation tools.
What makes them unique is that they've added several functions for many years that few of their competitors sporting activity, such as digital item downloads, occasion management, consultation scheduling and social campaigns. These all add to the varied checklist of e-mail options offered, in addition to automations and reoccuring e-newsletters.
Constant Contact brag a industry with around 400 apps and combinations that accommodate also the most particular niche of products. Yet despite these fancy numbers and also features, interest in Constant Contact seems to be on the decrease, a minimum of according to Google Trends. Sufficient reason for us to take a better consider Constant Contact's outs & ins as well as inspect if it's still appropriate in the 21st century.
Discover listed below!
Constant Contact is guided in the direction of local business, however their prices aren't the most inexpensive, particularly when you consider that their attributes simply aren't that advanced. Strategies begin with $9.99/ month, however this only permits 500 subscribers, and also rates climb pretty sharply afterwards.
Attempt Constant Contact for free
> Compare prices with our cost calculator
> Find out more about Constant Contact's strategies in our total pricing guide
Is Constant Contact the best e-newsletter solution for you?
Constant Contact is rather one-of-a-kind hereof, being just one of minority e-mail marketing devices to allow you to take care of event enrollments, invites, and tickets . Remember that this function includes its very own costs: 5.4% + $0.80 for each ticket marketed or transaction performed.
Surprisingly, for the costs it bills, Constant Contact does not offer the most innovative automations. While they do use caused campaigns, autoresponders and also abandoned cart projects (for Shopify only), you'll discover that other much less costly tools offer comparable levels of automation– MailerLite and also Sendinblue.
Reduce of Use
Usually it's simple to browse, though a little bit dull-looking. You can get to many locations within a couple of clicks, though as they've added a lot more capability, some points have actually come to be a little concealed, for instance, automations.
The editor is quickly, yet light on features, particularly in the styling department. Besides that it's simple to collaborate with.
This is very basic, just enabling you to insert straightforward introductions or contact information. There is no if/then/else reasoning readily available.
Email kinds
Classic, autoresponders, fundamental automations, persisting newsletters, A/B testing, occasion enrollments, promo codes, surveys as well as polls .
Option and Flexibility of Template Designs
Okay. There are around 200 (!) themes to select from, with differing degrees of high quality (some are respectable, while others look a little standard and outdated). You can also start from scratch, and make use of a helpful feature called 'Brand your e-mail' to auto-generate a theme based on your internet site's shades as well as logo.
It also creates pre-defined contact sections based on your consumers' interactions with your online shop (e.g. repeat, lapsed and possible consumers). Automations based on call triggers (e.g. e-mail opens up, clicks) are likewise readily available.
You can produce sections from call task, checklist membership, call information, tags, or ecommerce task. You can likewise create a section from your call understandings and tag calls based upon get in touch with area standards.
There is next to no personalization with the type, and it just provides a summary box, basic area options (which you can't add to) and then a listing, or lists, that people can check to be contributed to.
As you can see in our deliverability tests, Constant Contact does not carry out as well terribly, reaching one of the most prominent email service providers (AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, as well as Outlook) the majority of the moment.
Reports as well as Analysis
In enhancement to conventional open and also click records, spam, bounce and unsubscribe rates are also offered. You likewise obtain click warmth maps, as well as some valuable summary records such as open as well as click trends, opens up by tool, % of get in touches with engaged, and also most effective subject line.
Here's where it gets a little bit hirsute. The site and the tool are only available in English. You can select to transform a few of the non-editable e-mail sections (e.g. footer and also personal privacy policy text) to one of 10 languages offered, mostly European. Support and the data base is available in 4 languages. Somewhat confusing, however at least there's some effort to sustain multilingual customers as well as target markets.
Spam- and also Design-Testing
Spam screening isn't available, however, there is a attribute to examine the email for mistakes (missing links, placeholder text that hasn't been updated, etc). There's also a device that enables you to sneak peek how emails will certainly look for particular receivers, although this didn't appear to function when we evaluated it out. 'Inbox Preview' by Litmus is available as an add-on solution, although at $10/month for simply 5 tests, it's a little steep.
Soft bounces are positioned on short-term hold for 15 days, and then feel bitter. If it takes place once again, they are relocated right into a suspended bounce classification. They have a ' suggested for removal' filter available to view these, yet don't remove them immediately.
Import/export readily available although it's not as straightforward as it could be– you need to initially make it possible for advanced e-mail approvals under Account Settings.
Storage available for data and photos
All strategies include limitless storage.
Different levels of account accessibility
The Account Owner can also assign duties to be either an Account Manager or a Campaign Creator.
Constant Contact supply a substantial quantity of combinations and also applications , nearly 400.
This is only available through their kind building contractor, as well as it's really fundamental. Instead, we would certainly recommend these totally free landing page builders.
There are numerous networks of support, including live conversation, phone assistance, a expertise base and community-based support. I found that the chat and also phone assistance weren't always readily available, which was a little frustrating.
For a basic email device, Constant Contact ticks the majority of packages. The primary issue right here, however, is that they're asking a costs cost for a sub-premium product.
As Constant Contact themselves restate through their site, they are a tool for small companies. As well as, thus, it's worth evaluating them on these terms. As discussed above, they absolutely have enough of the essentials covered to satisfy most small companies, and also if it were as basic as that after that we 'd advise them much more extremely.
The concern, nowadays, is that there are lots of various other email tools supplying even more than Constant Contact, and for a great deal much less money. This includes not only features, but also customer experience. As a matter of fact, for the quantity you pay with Constant Contact, you might find yourself utilizing a lot more powerful devices such as ActiveCampaign and also GetResponse.
They do get points for their suitable deliverability prices, integrations (particularly social networks assimilations), and also for permitting various accessibility degrees for different customers. And with current improvements to automations and coverage, as well as the addition of brand-new attributes like a web site building contractor, it does appear like they're making an effort to improve the product.

Theodore Kenneth (T.K.) Lawless (December 6, 1892 – May 1, 1971) was an American dermatologist, medical researcher, and philanthropist. He was a skin specialist, and is known for work related to leprosy and syphilis.

Lawless was also involved in various charitable causes, including Jewish causes.  Related to the latter, he created the Lawless Department of Dermatology in Beilinson Hospital, Tel Aviv, Israel. He received his M.D. degree from Northwestern University Medical School, and was a self-made millionaire.
In 1954, he won the NAACP Spingarn Medal, presented annually to an African American of distinguished achievement.

Early life
Lawless was born December 6, 1892, in Thibodeaux, Louisiana, to Alfred Lawless Jr., (a Congregational minister, instructor at Straight University, and American Missionary Association district superintendent of churches) and Harriet Dunn Lawless (a school teacher). Soon after his birth, his father moved the family to New Orleans, Louisiana. He earned $1-a-day as a boy in his first job, in a New Orleans market.

Education
Lawless attended Straight College (now, Dillard University) in New Orleans for secondary school and went from there to Talladega College in Alabama where he received an A.B. in 1914. He then attended the University of Kansas School of Medicine and Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago, from which he received his MD in 1919 and an MS in 1920.

In 1920 he was named a Rosenwald Fellow in Medicine—an award targeting top black medical students—and thereby received $1,200 ($ in current dollar terms). Lawless engaged in graduate studies at the Vanderbilt Clinic of Columbia Medical School and at Harvard Medical School.  He held a fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. He received further postgraduate training outside the United States at the University of Paris's premier dermatology program at L'Hôpital St. Louis, as well as at the University of Freiburg in Germany, and the University of Vienna in Austria. He noted later that "it was a noteworthy fact in my own life experience that of the twelve letters [of recommendation for study abroad] that I received, eleven were from Jewish physicians."

Career
After graduating in 1924, Lawless returned to Chicago to open his dermatology practice on Chicago's South Side in a poor, black neighborhood. He became an instructor and research fellow at Northwestern University Medical School the same year, and taught there as a professor of dermatology and syphilology until 1941. He helped establish the university's first medical laboratories, and established the first clinical laboratory for dermatology.

Lawless performed research on syphilis, leprosy, sporotrichosis, and other skin diseases. In 1936, he helped devise a new treatment for early stage syphilis (electropyrexia, which artificially raised a patient's temperature, and then injected the patient with therapeutic drugs). He also developed special treatments for skin damaged by arsenical preparations, which were commonly used during the 1920s against syphilis, and was one of the first doctors to use radium to treat cancer. Between 1921 and 1941 he published ten papers on dermatology, which including studies on warts, sporotrichosis, the
use of colloidal mercuric sulphide, arsenicals, the treatment of early syphilis with electrically induced fever, tinea sycosis of the upper lip, tularemia, and congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma.

In 1957 Lawless was the first Black member of Chicago's Board of Health. His professional memberships included the American Medical Association, the National Medical Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and in 1935 he became a diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and Syphilology. He served as an associate examiner in Dermatology for the National Board of Medical Examiners and as a consultant for the United States Chemical Warfare Board.

A shrewd investor and businessman, he became a multi-millionaire, and had a remarkable business career. Lawless was director of both the Supreme Life Insurance Company and Marina City Bank. He was also a charter member, associate founder, and  President of Service Federal Savings and Loan Association in Chicago.

Philanthropy
Most of his philanthropy involved starting a number of dermatology programs in Israel. Lawless donated $160,000 ($ in current dollar terms) in 1957 to, spearheaded a Chicago fundraising drive for, and established the 35-bed Lawless Department of Dermatology in Beilinson Hospital (later known as the Rabin Medical Center), near Tel Aviv, Israel. He also created the T. K. Lawless Student Summer Camp Program for Talented Children for the scientific training for Israeli children at the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot, Israel; the Lawless Clinical and Research Laboratory in Dermatology of the Hebrew Medical School in Jerusalem, Israel. He became well acquainted with Chaim Weizmann, Israel's first president. He thus repaid support received from Jewish doctors in obtaining his appointment to his position at the University of Paris.  In 1969 he said: "I'm simply trying to repay a debt of gratitude." He explained his philanthropy for Israel and Jewish causes by pointing out that when he was a child in New Orleans, a Jewish peddler there was always kind to his family, a Jewish professor (Maurice Lenz) had helped him at Columbia University, and he also recalled another Jewish friend. In the 1960s, he worked for the Israel Bonds drive and purchased a large number of the bonds. In December 1967, on his fifth trip to Israel he made a donation establishing a fund to repair and restore ancient Biblical archeological discoveries at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, his fifth project in Israel.

Lawless also supported Roosevelt University's Chemical Laboratory and Lecture Auditorium, in Chicago, and Lawless Memorial Chapel at Dillard University, in New Orleans. In 1959, he was elected president of the Dillard University Board of Trustees.  In 1967, ground was first broken for the Theodore K. Lawless Gardens, in his honor and of which he was a principal, a 13-acre 514-unit middle-income housing project at 35th and Rhodes Avenue on Chicago's South Side. He also served as chairman of the board of trustees of Talladega College, chairman of the American Missionary Association and Division of Higher Education of the Congregational and Christian Church, and director of Youth Services of the B'nai B'rith Foundation.

He died in Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago at age 78 on May 1, 1971. Lawless left $150,000 ($ in current dollar terms) of his $1.25 million ($ in current dollar terms) estate to the American Committee of the Weizmann Institute, a New York research institution.

Honors
Lawless won the Harmon Award in Science for outstanding work in medicine in 1929.

In 1954, Lawless won and became the 39th recipient of the NAACP Spingarn Medal, presented annually to a Black American of distinguished achievement, for his contributions as a "physician, educator and philanthropist". In 1963 he received Roosevelt University's second annual Daniel H. Burnham Award.  Phi Beta Kappa honored him with its Distinguished Service Award in 1966 for "acts of charity and medical service". In 1967 he received University of Kansas Distinguished Service Citation, and the City of Hope Golden Torch Award.  In 1970 he received the Beatrice Caffrey Youth Service Merit Award.

He also received the Citation of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and the Greater Chicago Churchman Layman-of-the-Year Citation.

Lawless received honorary degrees from Talldega (D.Sc.), Howard University (D.Sc.), Bethune-Cookman College (LL.D.), the University of Illinois (LL.D.), and Virginia State University (LL.D.).

He was also honored by having a county park in Cass County near Vandalia, Michigan named after him (Dr. T.K. Lawless Park).  The park features a range of outdoor activities, including a 10-mile mountain bike trail, shelters, softball fields, and soccer fields.

A portrait of Lawless painted by Betsy Graves Reyneau is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution at the National Portrait Gallery. It was originally collected by the Harmon Foundation as part of a project to document noteworthy African Americans.

With rising prices for everything from used LPs to new SACDs and downloads, can you really justify buying an album just for a single track? I guess all audiophiles have bought many discs to get their favorite track, just to find out the audio quality made the purchase a complete loss. I was thinking about my overall batting average for album purchases. Perhaps 1 of 4 is in rotation.

Rilley v. Moneymutual LLC
D operates a website that allows people to apply for short-term loans, commonly known as 'payday loans.' After an individual submits a loan application through D's website, D 'matches' the applicant with a payday lender in its network. For each matched applicant, D receives a 'lead' fee from the lender. Rilley (Ps) filed a class-action complaint, alleging that D matched Ps with payday lenders that were unlicensed in Minnesota; that the terms of the payday loans were illegal under Minnesota's statutes because, the APRs advertised by D-which ranged 'between 261% and 1304% for a 14 day loan'-exceeded the maximum allowable APRs under Minnesota law. D moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. Ps alleged that D sent several emails to Minnesota residents in connection with generating business once D had 'matched' the applicant with a particular payday lender. These emails were sent after the application and had valid physical address information as part of the application process. D also sent emails to applicants who started but did not finish their online application. These emails urged the applicant to complete the application in order to be matched with a payday lender. D also sent emails to prior loan applicants inviting them to apply for additional loans. D sent over 1000 such emails. D also purchased television advertising with Montel Williams promoting the website. D also targets Minnesota customers through Google AdWords with specific search terms targeted at Minnesota residents. The court held against D, and the appeals court affirmed. The Supreme Court of Minnesota granted certiorari.


When you upgrade a Level on the War Spirit Gems you are able to see it in your Avatar as it jumps 10pts for Purple War 15 pts for a Gold War.
However when I upgrade levels on either a Purple Spirit Build or Purple Spirit Tech or even a Gold Spirit Build or Tech I do not see any increase in the Avatar or anywhere else for that matter.
Anyone know why this is like this?
Shouldnt you see the increase in your Total for your Build or Tech Hero besides what you actually see on the Spirit Gem?
Thanks for any updated info.


The ENEREA Észak-Alföld Regional Energy Agency was established in March 2009 as the first regional energy agency in Hungary with support from the Intelligent Energy Europe Program. The mission of the agency is to promote energy efficiency, to support the rational usage of energy resources, to foster the usage of new and renewable energy resources and to support energy diversification.
It was a main factor in establishing an energy agency in our region that the European Union requires to raise the ratio of new and renewable energy resources within the overall domestic energy usage from 5.3 % to 13 %. It is a strategic priority to increase the ratio and the absolute usage of new and renewable energy solutions as the current level is too low in our country. As the supply and the production of fossil energy sources are limited in Hungary, the country is highly dependent on the import of these goods. The new and renewable energy resources and solutions are highly underutilized in the Észak-Alföld Region compared to the possibilities and to the capabilities of the region, and also compared to the expectations in Hungary.
The most notable capabilities of the region lie in the fields of biomass, geothermal, solar and wind energy sources. The Regional Energy Agency will help the region to get more information about international solutions, projects and experience. We believe that this type of knowledge transfer can add value to the development of the region in the energy field. The Regional Energy Agency will also act as a flagship in promoting the energy sector in the Észak-Alföld Region.
• Communication and dissemination (communication strategy, webpage, newsletter, energy magazine, leaflets, media relations).
ENEREA will develop the Energy Strategy for the Észak-Alföld Region in 2010. The strategy aims to provide a concept for the utilization of new and renewable energy resources in the Észak-Alföld Region, to foster the usage of renewable technologies and to increase the efficiency of these technologies. The creation of a regional strategy will also help to raise the public awareness of these new technologies and solutions. The importance of the strategy is also shown by the fact that the directives of the European Union require that the main objectives and results of the regional energy strategy should be embedded in the national energy strategy.
The deployment of renewable energy requires appropriate economic, market and regulatory instruments. The diffusion and deployment of newly developed renewable energy technologies into markets are particularly important. A key strategy for market acceleration is removing trade and investment barriers between countries with significant renewable resources. Therefore we believe that international cooperation among energy agencies and other market actors is essential to achieve our long term goals. If you think there is a possibility that we can help your work or if we can cooperate in energy projects please do not hesitate to contact us.


I have been following Angular development for a couple of years now. As Angular 2 is almost ready I figured I would give it a try. I was asked if I could develop a simple site for a class my girlfriend teaches and I figured that would be a low risk opportunity to try Angular 2.

One thing to consider is that if your SASS compilation fails because of invalid syntax the entire compilation and minification process will stop and you will get a dated version of your CSS/JS served in your browser. If your latest changes are not reflected in your browser after a refresh its a good idea to have a look at the Guard log to see if the compilation failed.
